Yes, it was draft. I still have not completely verify it due
to several changes in cpsw and holiday in my side, second draft
looks like:

Subject: [PATCH] net: core: xdp: allow same allocator for rxq

XDP rxq can be same for ndevs running under same rx napi softirq.
But there is no ability to register same allocator for both rxqs,
by fact it's same rxq but has different ndev as a reference.

Due to last changes allocator destroy can be defered till the moment
all packets are recycled by destination interface, afterwards it's
freed. In order to schedule allocator destroy only after all users are
unregistered, add refcnt to allocator object and start to destroy
only it reaches 0.
